Airflow Visualization Technique for Cleanrooms
FloViz is a light multi-stranded, monofilament nylon
material used to visually determine airflow patterns in cleanrooms. It
exhibits minimum particulate shedding and has a high drag coefficient,
thus making it suitable for cleanroom use.
FloViz is used predominately in one of three ways.
-
For balancing raised floor and sidewall return dampers,
FloViz is attached to the cleanroom ceiling on an 8’ x 8’ grid (2.4 m x
2.4 m). The length is cut approximately 2 feet (600 mm) above the
floor. The airflow pattern for the entire room is easily visualized.
The FloViz points to the area where dampers are to be closed.
-
Airflow parallelism is measured throughout the
cleanroom during testing and certification. A single length of FloViz
is suspended from a mobile support stand. The stand is moved to
designated locations within the cleanroom. The deflection of the FloViz
from vertical is measured and the angle of deflection is calculated and
reported.
-
FloViz is used as a simple, convenient, material used
to determine localized air current around equipment, doorways, and
pass-throughs. It is useful to attach to the particle counter sample
tubing near the sample probe during particle counting of cleanrooms.
This will assure that the technician and particle counter stays
downstream of particle count sample intake locations, thus not
affecting the data.
